Human Rights Education Reaches Madrid Streets Through Scientology Volunteers

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — A community outreach initiative in Madrid has brought together Scientology volunteers, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA to raise awareness of fundamental freedoms.

Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The activity coincided with public discussions in Spain's capital about housing, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. The initiative focused on education rather than supporting any particular political position.

The volunteers used resources from internationally established human rights education programmes supported by Scientology. The publications introduce fundamental principles including non-discrimination, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and the right to education.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard advocated wider eu news sondergipfel awareness of the Universal Declaration, an approach subsequently reflected in the Church's educational outreach.

By meeting people in public spaces, volunteers sought to make human rights information more accessible beyond classrooms and institutions.
